Hello everyone. Last week, I picked up a 2015 Sonic RS 6speed Sedan
Just shy of 19k miles.
A few questions:

• The Touch Screen on the radio is out - would you suggest getting a replacement screen / unit (I've seen both) OR get one of the android head unit replacements?
  • The radio itself still works, just not the touch screen (can still operate with steering wheel controls. Volume, Power, and Home work fine)
• What in gods name do you guys use these cubbies next to the radio for? I've seen a few people make gauge pods that can mount in there. I was thinking of getting an UltraGauge (to see Engine Temp and a few other things). Any thoughts?
• Anything I should look into for the future? Either updates / or pre-pairs? I know about all the plastic in the engine, just curious if there's anything else.

I don't have major plans for this as it's a DD thru and through, but you never know

TIA ~Skipp

Congrats on your Sonic RS! An Android head unit offers more features, but replacing the screen keeps it stock. The cubbies are great for gauges like the UltraGauge. Watch for engine bay plastic issues.

What is a DD?
